New machine learning method from Stanford, with Toyota researchers, could accelerate battery development for EVs

Green Car Congress

In this approach, early prediction reduces the number of cycles required per tested battery, while optimal experimental design reduces the number of experiments required. In future work, design of battery materials and processes could also be integrated into this closed-loop system. Attia et al.

MIT teams receiving $10M from TRI for next-gen battery materials

Green Car Congress

Three MIT-affiliated research teams will receive about $10M in funding as part of a $35M materials science discovery program launched by the Toyota Research Institute (TRI). Provided over four years, the support to MIT researchers will be primarily directed at scientific discoveries and advancing energy storage. Earlier post.)

Technology Review: First Plug-in Hybrid to Be Sold in the United States

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

A number of other plug-in hybrids, including models from GM, Chrysler, and Toyota, are scheduled to come out in the next few years. The Karma, a luxury four-passenger sedan, can be recharged by plugging it in; it can then be driven on power from a battery alone for 50 miles. The Karma can be refueled quickly.)

Volkswagen’s Winterkorn: “great potential” in solid-state batteries, with possible 1,000 Wh/l, or 700 km range

Green Car Congress

Replacing the organic liquid electrolyte with a nonflammable and more reliable inorganic solid electrolyte (SE) simplifies the battery design while improving safety and durability of the system. The all-solid-state battery also offers improved packaging efficiency, as the cell design can allow in-series stacking and bi-polar structures.

Nissan Exploring Inductive Charging Capable of Power Transfer Over Longer Distances for its Plug-ins

Green Car Congress

Inductive charging with a paddle-type connector was used in a number of earlier EVs, notably GM’s EV1, the Nissan Hypermini EV, and the Toyota RAV4. A spin-off from MIT, WiTricity , is commercializing an innovative approach to longer-distance wireless charging. Developed by a team led by MIT Professor Marin Solja?i?,
